What the score is reading for KLAC
At the Monday 19 October close, KLAC scored 16, 27th of the 34 names here, and only one input sat above the board's median for it: volatility at +3.0. The other five were at or below where the typical name on this board was reading, so the score rested on that one component rather than on broad agreement between them. Pulling the other way was momentum at -11.4 — the day's move against the previous close.
Across the 15 sessions recorded since 21 September, KLAC has scored between 15 and 76, and that 16 sits near the bottom of that range. Net across the window it is down 40 points, and the largest single-session move was a fall of 33 points on 6 October.
